One of the problems was a mis-installed stop at the wingtip. The order of the sandwich was corrected and the rig came in with a turnbuckle adjustment. -Brian (still waiting on the paint shop, haven't flown a non-ferry since January) ----- Original Message ----- From: "TeamGrumman-List Digest Server" Subject: TeamGrumman-List Digest: 1 Msgs - 05/26/05 > * > > ================================================== > Online Versions of Today's List Digest Archive > ================================================== > > Today's complete TeamGrumman-List Digest can also be found in either of the > two Web Links listed below.

It's rigging was pretty close. On both planes, the down limit on the elevator (17 degrees) could not be obtained because the control column hits its stop before the limit on the back can get to 17 degrees. The tolerance is +/- 2 and getting 15 degrees was easy. Also, the rigging tool for the elevator trim tab doesn't fit right on the elevator. =20It's a guess at best. The ailerons on this Tiger could be adjusted to the max limits, +17 and -10. Both sides were the same so whoever drilled this one=20got it dead on. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:55:28 PM PST US From: TeamGrumman@AOL.COM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Cowl update? --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com waiting on process specs from the composite guy, then to the FAA.
